What is your day job?

I mean, really what don’t I do at my office lol. Technically I work in fraud investigations for a bank. But I also am solely responsible or all procedure testing, program testing, and training for my whole team. Plus I am kind of the go to person for questions for the whole team. And then I come home to my second job as a freelance writer.

Do not mess with the affairs of monsters, for you are tasty and good with ketchup.

I work midnights at a supermarket in my area and that supermarket is called (Undisclosed Location)™. Its not that bad and im considered a part time stock clerk but I receive 40 hours a week……….The extremely humble owner of “THE ROOKIE” #2487/3000

Pro Geek is the only way I can describe what I do. I work in database tech, so I’ve had to sacrifice portions of my humanity to learn to speak to machines. It’ll be useful when it comes to building Sigler-bots.

Life long employer is exiting the business and I am out of a job in YIKES mere months. Can’t lie, it was a bit of a shock and scary at first BUT I enjoy a good scare. I will reallly miss working from home if I can’t find a comparable replacement. I LOVE a good challenge so shake it up … I’ll land on my feet! BRING IT ON LIFE! :o)

Once every couple of months the Station commander will pick out two guys who have been busting their asses and we go on a McDonalds run in one of the HUMMWV’s in full ACU’s… It made me laugh so hard when I heard about this and instantly thought of Contagious. God bless You Sigler.

I recently started work (in my office at home) designing a diploma qualification and training package for outreach workers. This is quite a change from my last job, which included standing knee-deep in sheep shit and chemicals. Much better money, too.

I’d love to see a Disney animated feature of something like Nocturnal. Or Perry Dawsey’s rosey cheeks as he brandishes his chicken scissors. Any 5 year olds that saw that would go home men. Emotinally scarred, crying men.

I was out of work for about 2 months when the last company I worked for had to close up shop. Add in the fact that unemployment dicked me around and didn’t pay me a dime the entire time I didn’t have a job and the frustration factor of realizing my savings were about a month away from being totally drained, the incompetence of the people doing my background check for a job I knew I already had had me ready go Captain Caveman on someone.________________________________________

And don’t sweat the background check; there are numerous things that can hold it up.When I got my present gig I was on the fast track and it still took them a week (but that was due more to incompetence of the people relaying my information than the search itself, but just shows stuff can get hung up).________________________________________

I handle audits, research delinquent tax payers, send Notice of Deficiency letters, file liens on property, and for some reason I get hate mail. But seriously it’s a good job it’s not what people want to hear but everyone pays taxes and if we don’t work together it just slows down the progress of the state.

While I get my own book/game publishing company off the ground I’m involved in ‘external marketing’ for a chain of Automotive maintenence locations (translation: I stand outside a car wash holding a sign all day)

“If you expect to gain wisdom only from holy men at the tops of mountains, that is indeed the only place you’ll gain it”

Job duties include everything IT related, from rewriting broken code to changing toner cartridges. Luckily I work with a great bunch of people.One shot one kill? Please, I don’t have that kind of time.

I still work in GIS but now I’m doing actual real GIS stuff. Never had to do anything this complicated since I left university. Currently trying to figure out why the python code I’m staring at won’t release the attribute table. Wouldn’t be too big of a problem but it’s getting used in a computer model as a small part of the system. Until I work this one out the whole thing is FUBAR.

I do a six day week as a car cleaner/driver at a car sales over here in sunny old England. Its a really boring dull and repeatative job, when we’re quiet. Most of the time we’re busy and it is pure slightly controlled chaos. One day i may have to wash fifty seven cars, the next i’ll be driving a couple hundred miles to pick up a car. On the plus side i get to drive Range Rovers, Bently’s, Massarati’s once in a while.

im a undergraduate working in molecular ecology in a university research facility. i only started working there this summer so im really green but its way interesting. there’s a lot of pcr, sequencing and genotyping involved.

I build fiber optic transmitters and recievers under a microscope. Among other things, I weld metal parts with lasers and have been doing so for nearly 20 years. I’m in a clean room environment, like the margo-mobile, so if we fuk up, every body else wont die

I work for an Environmental Health and Safety firm. We offer all types of training pertaining to the field. Here is a picture from the HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations) training we are having today. The students are put into a simulated emergency situation. It’s always fun to watch them panic when their respirators start to run out of oxygen before they complete the sim!!!

I definatly have stories. Like the time the morge attendant left the corpse in the hall while he used the tolet. I simply moved the stretcher with body bag on the elevator and let it go for a ride. Ya know, no one will get on an elevator a corpse is riding?

I work the graveyard shift at a level one trama center. I take care of the medical records from the emergency room. Crazies, homeless, trama, they all come here. Not to mention the 2 morges in the basement taht my office is inbetween. fun.

I put it poorly. We had the HR modules as part of the package, but the data was only minimally populated. Our HR department wouldn’t use SAP, despite the fact the company had already bought the modules and all the tools were there. They went with something else.

I used to write custom reports in ABAP back when we were using SAP for our Production Management process. The model was a bad fit for our processes so it was eventually abandoned. The really ridiculous thing is that we never implemented the HR modules. Those are the areas where SAP really rocks and rolls and would have been a perfect fit for our HR processes. Someone didn’t want all the eggs in one basket, or something.

is currently making the transition from print to online format, so I’m not technically writing for that at the moment (I was going to give you the link, but it looks like it’s been pinched by someone else!) It is/was called Black Magazine http://brimstonepress.com.au/ The review site is also published by Brimstone Press http://www.horrorscope.com.au/

In any other industry, the Govt falls over itself to improve workplace safety for employees. But in the case of the sex industry, the violence is viewed as some sort of punishment for having ‘loose morals’. We blame the victims and create criminal legislation to punish them for choosing a dangerous workplace, rather than making the workplace safer. Makes my blood boil.

I’m a firm believer that consensual sexual activity is nobody’s business but the two (or more!) people involved. Ok, so some people don’t like the idea of prostitution. But there are people out there who don’t like the idea of masturbation, either. Should we criminalise that, as well? *sigh*

I have an office job supervising a data entry department. Not very interesting stuff there. I also have second job getting busy at night! Okay, that one is not really that exciting either, it’s just typing – but it sounds so much better the other way!

and most of it is true… withut good mobile devices.. saportal and a fully intergated interface suite it can be painful for those on the sharp end… the confrimation bits can be the pits if you have to do it at operation level. It gives the dudes in finace all sorts of analysis (productivity, actual vs estimated etc).. but I sometimes think the companies get a bit carried away with all that and forget the basic cost vs benefit of collecting data at that level. – at the end of the day they want us to do the best quality job for the best price and forget that data collection ramps up the cost and stops the WORK from getting done (but the reports look good ).

Thats why I do the job that I do – I try and pu some reality back in there so we don’t go too far down that road.

we opted for an in house app instead because of the bad reviews… I’m glad we did now! Allthough SAP would like us to buy it and keep pushing.. See I don’t work for SAP… I work for the Electricity rec trying to make SAP fit the business because when we tried it the right way round (SAP and make the business fit) It didn’t go down to well with the field guys.. they hated it and said it stopped them from doing thier job properly.. we are now spending sqillions to try again

But I hear that the electrical utility add-on for SAP is woefully lacking. When you have guys paid by the hour saying that the system is preventing them from getting work done, that can’t be good. Just sayin’. I have no personal experience with it myself 🙂

As far as I know the only place in the US where it’s legal is Nevada (except Clark County, where Las Vegas is). If two people want to make a business arrangement out of sex, that seems perfectly okay to me.

It’s the violence and drugs that often are associated with the profession that can be a problem. So you give the government one more thing to regulate and make it safer for everyone involved!

Yes, really! For the past 11 years, I’ve worked in sexual health and HIV prevention. I used to be an outreach worker, providing one-on-one health education, support, advocacy, etc direct to brothel workers (sex work/prostitution is lawful in Australia). These days I work in State and Federal sexual health/rights policy, research and legislative analysis.

I’m also a columnist for a local horror magazine and a book/movie reviewer for a horror website.

I develop traditional classroom and online training for Ion Implanters at a prominent semiconductor company here in New England. In a nutshell, Implanters are mini-charged particle accelerators used in manufacturing semiconductor devices, such as computer chips and solar cells. For more info, see this Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_implanter

On the side, I do graphic design and anything requiring artistic creativity: sketching and drawing, product design, corporate branding, graphic design, desktop publishing, etc., etc., etc. You can see some of my examples of this here and here.

I’m currently going to school here at Southern New Hampshire University for a dual Bachelors degree in Communications and Graphic/Multimedia Design… should be done in another 2 years.

Oh, and I love long walks in the park, holding hands, and of course reading, reading, reading… you should see my library…

I’m a licensed technician although I was never in the military. I have worked on plenty of cool aircraft. I don’t work as a mechanic now. I would love to have worked on fighters. I love when Scott mentions aircraft of any kind in the stories.

I design turbine components for the latest generation civil jet engines. So Someday you’re gonna be flying in something which stays aloft due to my ingenious design and hard work. So! FDO I’d like to take this moment to offer my services to the plaid army: Because why stop at Plaid tanks when you can have plaid Jets…

at a small little company called Tugboat, we do embroidery and silk screen. I run the warehouse and do the shipping and receiving. all in all I like my job, not too much of being watched over. And in these days it is great to have a steady job.

Night Time Wed-Sun 6:00pm-1:00am and All Day/Night Sunday – Pizza Delivery Guy – I Deliver Cold, Poorly Made Pizza to people willing to pay too much to get too little, and then I get upset when they tip 34 cents….hmmmm?

Working 2 jobs Full Time. Woo Hoo!…. *Thump* as I fall down from exhaustion.

(Did I mentioned that I’m married with 2 kids and the only one working???)

I listen to Scott’s stuff while delivering said cold pizza to the unsuspecting and/or numb masses of stoners and lazy parents who don’t feel like making dinner.

I found Bester to be one of the most memorable characters on the show. Especially since he’s only in 12 episodes. Walter Koening did a fantastic job making a strong impression.

The only actor/actress I can think of who may have done better is Marjorie Monaghan as Number One. She only had 7 episodes to make an impression yet I remember her vividly. Then again, she does have the sexiness/Mommy Bag factor going in her favor

Jared from the subway commercials? Deffinitely not! I have been insulted and demand satisfaction! I shall see you on the dueling field at dawn…well, dawn is a bit early…maybe like noon? Hmmm, how about we just have a drinking contest around happy hour. We shall duel with either Jameson or Black Bush Whiskey: Choose your weapon good Sir!

Well I did have one English teacher that was nice looking. You’ll never believe me when I tell you her name..it was Mrs. Strahans. When pronounced it sounded like Stray hands! Needless to say she didn’t care to much for us Juniors by semesters end. 😉

KISS’d by Sigler. Honored recipient of the "Iron Man" Award. Pusher twice over. UNdead Advisor to the King Of UNdead for Sigler.

I’m an Honors Student (Freshman :D) trying to get into Full Sail University to work at Valve to buy the license (at a decreased Junkie price) to any of your books to spread Siglerism as far as the all-seeing eye of Sigler can see, and even farther than that! (which is technically impossible, as Sigler can see all through several dimensions faster than you can say bu-! *gasps for air, then dies*)

I have been in the kitchen(restaurant) since I was nine. Both father and step father were both chefs. I swore I would never, but alas I did. I love cooking, I make good money at it. I will retire from construction management in seven years at age 56. Then I will have nothing but cooking and fun things to do.

I used to be beer truck driver, now I sell the stuff (You know, the stuff Quentin Barnes loves best!) Now, Sigler, quit drinking that overpriced/overhyped shit and drink some better, overpriced liquid goodness!

My dad was happy to be my guinea pig when I brought stuff home from school! The pastries never lasted more than three days at home! Eclairs lasted even less time! He also likes it when I sometimes bring stuff home from the shop too!

as an interpreter, Deaf folks have taken the courses to become chefs and such at the local culinary schools.

since we are in the classrooms everyday, we tend to be the guinea pigs for all such goodness that comes out of the oven.

therefore I gained some lovely chocolate love handles during that quarter, then the previous quarter was dough other unsundried goods. and they ended up somewhere around my heart, giving it a nice bed to rest on… you get the picture. NOW, I am back to the gym.

was an accountant for a few years and then went to systems. basically i work on a modernization project for our administrative systems checking all kinds of crazy calculations. fun fun, and so unrelated to my degrees (both bachelors and masters)

I have actually seen videos of monkeys caring for kittens and puppies so I thought maybe that was what you where doing. And I am also sure that training a chimp to care for a kitten would be easier then training subhumans!

I am an animal welfare inspector and the monkeys to which I was referring are the intellectually undeveloped members of society who have no idea how to look after their pets… lol I have a marvellous image now of me in a laboratory teach a monkey how to play fetch with a dog and give a cat a worming tablet… I think that it might be easier than teaching the subhumans that I deal with most days lol

The bakers at a supermarket got caught doing that (fortunately not a supermarket I frequented)

When the security caught the fellah mixing in his special batter it closed the whole supermarket until the investigation was completed. When asked in interview why he did it his response was simply "It was my turn"

so please for the sake of public health and safety keep it in your pants when working your dough

Which means I work for a software company and I write ALL the documentation, training materials, etc. It’s all online now — paper manuals are DEAD! And I answer stooopied questions from both customers and our own Support staff all day.

And since we don’t have enough warm bodies, I sometimes travel and train "monkeys" to use the software in person.

Its been 5 months of resumes and applications and no responses, company’s dont even call you back to say they got your resume or application anymore! Tried calling a complany I applied to and the HR guy actually told me not to call again if a I wanted the job. He then said if they where interested they would call me, I remember a time when a company would look at that as inishative and would talk to you!!

Bakers are like mortician when it comes to work though, there is always a need to be filled.

My day job happens to be… working on getting a night job since day jobs are scarce where I live. I currently infect the internet with my insane conspiracy theories and babe worship, I even have a following finally. I used to be able to get jobs like they’re nothing but now I’m much like Charlie Sheen in "The Arrival" working on something great in his own time. I’m starting my way as a DIY hardcore cyberpunk horror author, currently working on my first work.

I just remember in my HS the History teacher was also the PE teacher, and the Driver’s Ed teacher. Over the years I’ve discovered there seems to be some sinister link between PE & History across our great country. Strange but true! (I have no empirical evidence though.)

I cut up lots of little creatures. Frogs, snakes, cats……shit ths Sigler freak could really get into. I rarely have a boner when I have a blade in hand……so the NOCTURNAL readers will consider me to be very strange!

No i’m not working for the government. do you really think they care about your security? I actually work for the number 1 computer Anti-virus and online security company. Yeah boy! give it up for my mad computer skills.

I run the Borders in Winchester Va. and I sel the hell out of Scott’s work anytime someone is in the Horror area. I am a disciple, bringing those who havent be blessed yet, the way to enlightenment on the quest for WORLD DOMNATION!!!!

Just got my first job a few days ago! Doesn’t start for a while now but I’ll be working at one of the local community centers over the summer, watching over kids and such. Nervous but excited. I’m not exactly sure what the job entails, either, lol.

"Urban legends go well with parmesan and horror. In fact their name is conveniently one and the same: Stevie."

My spray coatings business has slowed way down so I’m falling back to my previous (20 year) career as a software developer. Right now I’m working on an iPhone app that I’m just about ready to release.

I also like to mess around with go fast machinery. My career previous to software guy was as a machinist and engine builder. I’m working on some inventions my dragbike that I hope to take to market one of these days.

For us, the two toughest things were 1. being patient as CB learned his first sign and 2. taking the time to learn enough signs ourselves to ensure we were building his vocabulary. Once the first sign stuck, he learned many more, very quickly. In some cases we went through periods of days where he learned a new one (or two!) daily. Where Shadygirl and I lack ability is in proficiency and in any formal training ourselves. We both want to learn now officially. Also, we’ve been teaching CB American Sign Language (rather than some modified or special sign language for babies. That way if he chooses to continue, the vocabulary he’s built is still valid.

I forgot about that. In that case let me just say: I only regret that I have but one life to give our evil overlord.

Hey, check this out. I just got back (on the 30th) from an interview with a company that makes autonomous electronic vehicles. Some of them full-sized Bobcat type things with bomb disarming attachments. Ha ha ha… I shall prove useful to our future evil underpants… err overlord ha ha ha!!

are par for the course in Kindergarten! Real or pretend, I hear them every day. It’s hard for me not to laugh…it’s usually sooo funny; I just don’t want to encourage them, or we’d never get to actual learning. Little do my little gas factories know, but I own a remote control fart machine myself! If CB likes to say "butt" and "poop" as well as make rude noises, he’ll fit right in!!!

Thought I ought to update this seeing as I’ve moved to university and so I’ve had to drop a lot of what I was doing.

I still teach fencing, there’s a society at my uni of which I’m rumoured to become el Presidente of next year. I am going to start teaching belly dancing again in January with my uni’s dancesport club. I am an actual med student and I work the bar at uni. I still tutor maths actually… to university students shockingly enough. Quite a few of them didn’t take further maths at a-level, and I did so when they were covering it in the first semester just gone, I tutored those who didn’t have a clue.

I’ve come home for xmas and I’m back working in the bar I used to and I’m a guest instructor at the old place I used to teach belly dancing but now.. I have entered the Depths of Hell.

Yes, that’s right.

I now work in…. RETAIL.

Kill. Me. Now.

I’m still lacking on sleep though. I manage to go out pretty much every night still, unless I’m working the bar at our union club.

college, party, lime vodka…how could something that tasted so good treat me so, soooo bad….I still hate anything green." Looks the same coming up as going down."*I am the Rear Admiral but Sigler gives the Orders*

On this here "internet" I like to tell people that I’m a trucker haulin’ m’load-a toilet paper from the Ticonderoga mill down to Texarkana Texas. And if I don’t get ‘ere in 48 hours there is gonna be a whole lotta shitty asses down ‘ere in Texas…

I am actually an Electronics Test Engineer. I break electronic stuff for a living. Military stuff gets THE HELL tested out of it before they will actually send it up in a plane or stick it in a Hummvee or whatever… believe it or not you can actually make a whole career out of it.

I am, what we call in the Graphic Design industry, a "cube dweller." I work in educational publishing making other people look good so that they can get a credit in a book while I get a "nice job" pat on the head.

Driving up there before the TV shows. Never thought there was any danger to it. Nuna makes sure the ice is sound, and the 15 kmph speed limits are strictly enforced. Slow approach to the portages, and no problemo. My first trip caught laryngitis, and that’s where I got the nickname "Squeek". took some video, and when I get a chance, I’ll post it to myspace. Nowadays, we have satellite radio, makes it SO good. before that it was CBC.(groan, and make a sour face). Normally, I just haul your garden variety of oversize/ overweight loads. parked beside a helicopter today. he had stopped for lunch too.

… aka Programmer, which means I get to see the forgotten source code of applications a thousand people get to use everyday. I have always suspected that all of the original programmers worshiped The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You all work such interesting jobs! Some days mine feels like a youth correction facility, what with the feces throwing and the drug addicted kids I get in, also feels like a battle ship during a long tour of duty, what with the salt water and the "seamen", and some days it feels like a three ring circus IN HELL! with no purgatory in sight.

Unlike you, who was still learning to pee pee using the big people toilet …I was fixing airplanes for Uncle Sam’s Air Farce at Langley AFB In Virginia. I was all of 20 but the bouncers all thought I was 22. That’s a story in itself.Tastes Like Chicken

tim d retired military and now I am a locomtive engineer, used to allow for plenty of time to listen to sigler downloads, but its illegal now that the dumb-ass in CA killed those people, texting now no more electronic devices

I was stationed aboard the Indy from Feb 94-July 97 and called Yokusuka, Japan my homeport. The Indy was my 1st and last ship. I left the NAVY after my rate was deadlocked for 2yrs and I was not able to advance to the next rank due to those in that rank not advancing.

While in Japan I also had a side-job as a bouncer for a friend of mine’s discotech/bar.

Your still wet behind the ears. I was out of High school, married and had my first child by then! Needless to say I’m alittle crusty behind the ears. Boy, is it just me or is anyone else feeling old! 🙂

“Well, remember what you said, because in a day or two, I’ll have a witty and blistering retort! You’ll be devastated THEN!”

I (and my sweet face) had a lot of issues when I was growing up, and I took them out on everybody around me, hence the jail time. But I turned it all around after a scare of spending some real time behind bars. because Florida in its infinite (pi) wisdom has a 3 strikes law, so after 3 felony convictions as a juvinile you are booked as an adult, no matter how old you are. So when I was 16 I was adjudicated as an adult and spent about 9 months in the big boy jail. Other than becoming an expert at spades and dirty hearts I had no use for the place. and when I got out, after a time on House arrest, with the ankle bracelet and everything, I met a girl who is now my wife (our 9th year wedding anniversary is in may) and she really helped me to turn my life around. We also have 3 children who don’t leave me much time to get into trouble. ;P

and that concludes our very special episode of "As the sMUTgREMLIN Turns" now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

We have one of those industrial-sized dishwashers. It’s about 5 feet long by 7 feet high by 3 feet wide. You put a rack of dishes in one end and POOF! they are clean. Problem is, I’m the only one who bothered to go to the seminar learn how to fix the damn thing. Nobody else, not even the managers, will listen to me when i try to explain to them what to do. I might be able to get this new guy to learn, but he’s not very bright

I am usually a busser at the place I work, but now i have found myself having two jobs. One is bussing. the other is fixing the goddamn dishwasher. You don’t know how annoying it is to be at a movie and get a call to haul my ass over there to fix the dishwasher. Ever few days or so it breaks. the good thing is I get paid for 4 hours of work every time I fix it. Unfortunately it is at minimum.

I can tell some stories about just how screwed up somethings have gotten. When a kid spends 4months locked up for skipping school and a kid that confesses to a murder only gets 4 months. While a kid who is known to be innocent but does 5yrs because the DA wants his brother (who commited the murder) to turn himself in. Ontop of beastiality, child porno stars, and drug rings.

I am a juvenile corrections officer. Basically I babysit children that have committed crimes ranging from something as stupid as skipping school all the way up to murder. I have worked in this position since January 1st 1999. In my time I have been bitten, stabbed, scratched, punched, kicked, slapped, spit on, had urine and fecal matter thrown on me. I have even been hugged, kissed and groped. The only thing that I have not suffered has been any broken bones or being shot at.

Before being in corrections I was a firefighter in the NAVY aboard the USS Independence (CV-62.)

I was also the vice president of a national motorcycle gang for 3yrs before leaving due to "political differences."

Unfortunately the S.O.B. was holding on to the rail & didn’t fall which is what I was hoping he did . I was trying to feed his butt to my farebox. The fact he was holding on told me he had been planning that for a while not just on impulse. I think he was surprised I wasn’t afraid & figured HE should be AFRAID of me. On the old buses we had back then the door handle could be taken out of the slot which I had done I really wanted him to get close so I could put a hurtin’ on him. My ex said "Lord, he don’t know how blessed he is he got out before you got him" But I’m older & meaner now that was nearly 15yrs.ago. Now I would just taser his ass.

Oh yes,we got FREAKS!!! But Momma don’t play & they learn REAL fast like when they’re standing on the curb at the NEW bus stop just for them. One night I was driving along with one guy on the bus who decided he had to remove his clothes & approach me while I was driving on a dark lonely road on the base. Well I could see his reflection in the windshield & hit my brakes so hard my tires were SMOKIN'( I was doing 55mph at the time) He got one of the "special stops" put him out bare butt naked. I was out of radio range so I couldn’t call it in until I was further down the road. Oh I was hot as fish grease when I got in. That was the last time my now ex-husband missed riding with me when I had that run. Needless to say I never had him on the bus again. I was looking for him too, wanted him to ride with me one last time. I reported the incedent to the MP’s in case I got lucky enough to pick him up again so there wouldn’t be a problem when I beat the stem windin’ stew out of him. But I LOVE IT!! Oh yes BTW love the assasins comment. 🙂

16yrs, from busting pipe to electrical controls design, equipment specifications and PLC program design and programming. Even spent sometime in Houston and Tulsa in the Head office doing engineering support for 7 major oil systems. But I am glad to be Tech’n again!

“Well, remember what you said, because in a day or two, I’ll have a witty and blistering retort! You’ll be devastated THEN!”

They are 4,160 volt motors running pumps on a small 22" pipeline between Cushing OK and Woodriver IL. The system moves approx 7-8K bbls/hr of oil (336,000 gals/hr). At one of my former jobs I was on a 40" pipeline running from St. James LA to Patoka IL. 632mi long. On that system the smallest pump motors were 3000hp electric and the largest were 5000hp. The larger motors weighted close to 12 ton. One wrong move and you could easily lose a body part! A real bitch when you had to shop one. On that system, at that time, we were moving 40-50k bbls/hr! (2,100,000 gals/hr). So all in all, the motors I work with now are small! 🙂 Sorta like Nano compared to huge. (heehee n8!)

“Well, remember what you said, because in a day or two, I’ll have a witty and blistering retort! You’ll be devastated THEN!”

This is one I have used try the green download button see if that helps, create a system restore point first. PM me if it doesnt work and I’ll see what else I can do. (I have better diagnostic progs. on my other PC at my office) Always happy to help!

I’m always in the market for a new line of work! Oh and I didn’t mention above, I also make Handcarved candles. I didn’t mention it because i haven’t done it in a couple of years. I’ve been thinking of starting it back up though. I’ve had this nick since I was 16 (14 or so yrs) and I’ve thought of changing it but its too much a part of me, im glad you like it! I love the name Gmork too! it’s been too many years since I read Neverending Story. the movie was good but couldn’t hold a candle to the book.

I do fucking anything (legal) for money. I own a computer service (similar to geeksquad, we come to you) I do web development. Custom computer builds. video editing. some software Dev (although I havn’t stayed current, so I don’t do that too often) I have just moved to TN and I am forced to work part time for a company that does Dell *shudders* warranty service, as well as IBM and Sony. I own a pool service back in Florida. I do carpentry work, masonry work, Hey Red I drive a truck too! (just havn’t updated my CDL for TN yet) like I said You name it…I also raise 3 children with my wife of 9 years. and the rest of my time I spend hacking, cracking and posting here!

I work maintaining, installing and repairing electrical/electronic controls and equipment as well as all the mechanincal aspects for pipeline pumping facilities. I work on 750hp to 1500hp electrical motors and pump assemblies. Do alot of driving between locations also, but not as much as Red!

So while the last few posts kinda derailed the topic (but it was fun, wasn’t it!) I’m bumping this thread up so the throngof newbies tot he site can share their day jobs and peruse through the older pages to see what other Junkies do to help pay for their Crack.

let a new boss think that you don’t know how smart and accomplished you are…provide the facts to him and let them show how smart and close to genius you really are,but seem unaware of that obvious conclusion. The new boss will then drool over the possibilityof draining your brain and passing your work off as his, thinking you’ll never know.When your hired he will protect you, thus protecting his source of genius…… or create custom pastries shapped like unusual insects and sell them on Craigs List.

While my mommy parts are mildly amused by the lack of nate’s proper anatomy spelling, it is the taxpayer in me that is affronted by the fact that my hard earned taxpayer dollars, diverted to supporting the public education system in this great nation, are obviously going to waste.

uterus and contraction in the same post? Gutsy move, Mav. Shadygirl and Gmork may rip your head off if they think you’re smart-mouthing their mommy parts. Excuse me a minute while I just move over here to a safe distance.

i thought only women had those?ps i know its spelt urerus. i also know it’s is the contraction, its is the possesive pronounNate Dogg (#6 crackhits if mumo doesn’t pass me)… "life is hard. But its one helluva lot harder if you’re stupid"- -John Wayne

it seems I’m a military, hippy, twisted English teacher, amateur entomologist, international man of mystery and part-time pastry chef. Just to make it even better, I’m very happily married and have a fantastic son! Boy do I have it GOOD! And I can’t keep a job.

there’s certainly nothing wrong with being a gluer, I guess. I’m sure it’s respectable work. Who am I to criticize? Glue is good; that’s what I say! And you don’t even have to go to college for it, although you do have to go to collage…

I work on a mine site doing all sorts of interesting things 4 weeks on 1 week off, the work is hard, the shifts are long, you hardly see natural light.. but the pay is awesome and it gives me time to listen to sigler.

That’s just my fancy way of saying that I’m the office manager of a small water damage restoration company. Listening to General Siglerisimo on my way to work gets me ready to deal with underlings and inferiors.

Ice fishing, ok, just make sure the hole in the ice is smaller than your head. so you won’t fall in, and in your case, I think your pretty safe if your head is as big as I think it is………..not really. I am suffering POINT ENVY.

A friend I worked with used to do the ice fishing thing, the family had a little shack on a sled they’d pull out on the lake. He said they had tons of fun out on the ice, and showed us lots of pictures to prove it. It really looked like fun. and I guess you are right, his wife and kids were usually not with him, I think they went shopping.

Get you an ice house…. use an auger to drill the hole… place the line… turn on the heater…. settle back in the comfy chair (or couch if you prefer) Order a pizza for delivery…. Drink that first beer of many….. ahhhh…. and all without the whining of the wife or kids….. Bliss I tell ya! Bliss! Deer hunters understand…. which you also have a lot of up here too.

I am an artist, fine and digital, I do pretty much anything and everything related to the field including instruction and some stuff you never knew was part of the field. Currently I am my own boss and contract myself out (aka freelance) and that pays the bills and gives me time to pursue what doesn’t pay the bills

I work as a scientist for the major University in Texas at their Health Science Center in the big city of Houston. Sig, thanks for all the cool ideas!!!!!!!!! In my spare time I give hell to the other Sigler junkie on my floor. Take that gatorrock!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t actually afford to go to college anymore because of travel expenses so until September I’m frantically looking for a job… Sigler knows whats good, hes his own boss and does whatever he wants, anything from child burping to knuckle wrapping…

I’m a retired senior reactor operator. Was in the control room of a nuke plant for 15 years, then taught new reactor operators for the next 14 years. Being retired, I’m just a junkie all day now, since I’ve found the demented mind of Scott Sigler. Maybe in my next life I’ll write podcasts about nuclear terrorists 🙂

I repair esspresso equipment for a major retailer… I get to drive around all day and listen the Scott’s podcast, they are awesome, I cant wait to get back in the truck after a job just to hear what happens next!!!
